Women's Center moves to new offices The Women's Center has moved into their new offices located in R-1 of the Student union. They now have a reception office for intake and referrals, a private counseling room for crisis and peer counseling, and a separate meeting room for support groups, workshops, ROP groups and socializing. Women artists are needed to display their work in the Women 's Center booth at the Mayfair Wednesday. Additional volunteers are also needed, and those interested may sign up at the Center. As Women's Center coordinator Lynette Trier will be leaving at the end of June, that position is now open. To qualify, one must be a female Palomar student, and should plan to attend Palomar next year. A background or interest in social work, women's issues and the women's movement, as well as some administrative or managerial experience would be helpful.
Student parking violators who neglect to pay their fines wil not be able to re-register their vehicles, according to Campus Patrol Director John Kratt. Under a new program called Registration Hold, law enforcement agencies such as Palomar's Campus Patrol will no longer have to act as their own traffic clerk program. Instead, when citations become delinquent, they will be sent to a center in Oceanside, then forwarded to the Department of Motor Vehicles headquarters in Sacramento. Registration for these vehicles will be held until the fine is paid. Once the Oceanside center receives copies of the delinquent tickets, they will issue, if necessary a notice to the registered owner of the
vehicle. The program has changed a traffic court philosphy during the summer of 1978 which stated that any agency issuing citations had to collect their own fines, thereby acting not only as a patrol program but also as a traffic clerk program. "This meant a lot of extra paperwork," explains Kratt. "The new program has alleviated a lot of it." All parking information can be found in the class schedule on pages 8 and 9. Apparently many students contest a citation without knowing what the parking regulations are. Fines are $4, then go up to $8 after ten days. ¡ The Campus Patrol Office is located in the green building across

Arboretum adds life to campus Only seven years ago, a small hill in the northeast portion of the Palomar College campus stood with just its natural covering of coastal sage scrub. Now that same hill is covered with hundreds of different tree and shrub species from the world over thanks to gifts from local citizens, nurseries, the Los Angeles County Arboretum, the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Huntington Botanical Gardens to name but a few. This hill is now called the Palomar College Arboretum. Trails lined with railroad ties have been formed and benches are beginning to appear inviting visitors to stop and savor the beauty of the arboretum and its surrounding wildlife preserve. The dream began in 1973 when a young student arrived at Palomar from New London, Connecticut where he often visited an arboretum developed by the local university. He went to the Palomar student assembly and received financial support for the beginnings of the project. The plan was approved by the college Board of Governors. An arboretum development board was formed. The project has grown to such an extent that the Palomar College Development Foundation has arranged for a three-phase longrange development plan so the preservation and orderly growth of the arboretum can be assured for future generations. The Patrons of Palomar added another dimension to the expansion. They supplied the railroad ties which attractively mark the trails. Patrons have also sponsored many clean-up projects in the arboretum. Recently, in preparation for the Patrons' "Special Afternoon at Palomar College" April 13, a group of boy scouts from the Escondido Rotary sponsored troop 649 worked to make repairs to the arboretum following last month's h eavy rains.
